Starting point is 00:00:02 All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. So I was coming into the office this morning. And right outside the office, I saw one of these massive, what they call in Florida, palmetto bugs, which is hilarious because it's like a cool name for basically, right, Justin, what would be like a big roach. And they call them palmettoes, palmetto bugs.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Now, I've been in Florida 10 years. It's not like yesterday. a lot of these, but these suckers never die. Anyone in Florida or anywhere down south, they're certainly not the only ones. The roaches down here, and they're not those New York City, what are they, like the German cockroaches or whatever,
Starting point is 00:00:46 they're just, you know, Florida's like the bug capital world. It's a good reason for liberals not to come down here. Liberals are probably afraid of bugs because they're not outdoorsy. I've got something coming up on that for a second, too. I was a city kid. I'm having to learn outdoorsy. However, it's a good reason not to come to Florida.
Starting point is 00:01:00 The Palmetto's, and they can fly, too. Those suckers will attack you sometimes. They don't typically, but they will. I was talking to one of the guys that's working here this morning. And I'm like, dude, you got to hit these things with a freaking baseball bat for them to die. He's like, that thing's still alive. I'm like, unbelievably, it is. Speaking of outdoorsy, I got a pretty cool weekend update for you.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Let me just preface this by saying this. I get it for the first time. You get what? For those of you out there who fish, I'm going to, I, let me finish. Just a statement before you slay me in my own chat, by the way. I didn't get it. I only fished once when I was a kid off a bridge going to Rockaway with my friend Andy's father for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:01:45 I didn't really catch anything. And I was young. I don't know. I was like 10 years old. And I really know what I was doing. We were city kids. We were city kids. I barely learned to swim until I was in my teens.
Starting point is 00:01:53 You know, there was no water around for us to go swim at outside of the beach. And most of the time, we couldn't get out there anyway. The fishing thing, I totally get it now. I had like a mini awakening this weekend. For those of you who fish, I totally get it now. Stay tuned. All right, I got a lot to talk about, including the absolute zeros out there still getting exposed by the day,
Starting point is 00:02:18 how this is all signal noise. You've got to see the signal through the noise. When you see the noise, you'll never unsee it, I promise. You are on the right side of signal with this show, I promise. and the evidence is everywhere as all of these people start to collapse. All right, it's national preparedness month and isn't just another made-up observance.
Starting point is 00:02:38 It was launched in 2004 in the wake of 9-11, one of the worst attacks on American soil. It was created to remind Americans to prepare for natural disasters, deliberate attacks, cyber attacks, and big emergencies. The goal is simple.

Starting point is 00:04:58 All right, fellas, let's go. Was it crazy weekend. Here's why I bring this up. I know a lot of you on this show are kind of rugged outdoorsy type. I'm always straight with you, man. It's not an attempt at self-deprecating humor. It's just the, you know, the truth. The truth is the truth.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I hate people in these shows and stuff who paint them out to be, they're everything to everyone. They're like the State Puff marshmallow man. They're always like repainting. I was a city kid. There are benefits to that. You kind of grow up a little edgy. You grow up kind of reading people really well.
Starting point is 00:05:26 You know, I was great being a New York City cop, great being a Secret Service agent in New York. You know, you do get an edge to you. But the downside to it is I didn't, we didn't have a lot of money growing up. It's not a sob story, whatever, who really cares? But we didn't have a lot of money at all. So all the stuff that I think guys should know, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:46 horseback riding, maybe do a little mountain climbing. I didn't get to do anything. It's not a knock on my parents at all. They were great. Did what we could. My father used to take me to Action Park, if you ever seen the documentary, and that was like the most action I had.
Starting point is 00:06:00 But that's all we could do. I say that because now in my 50s, I regret not doing all that stuff. I don't know how to ski. I barely learned to swim until I was a teenager. I'm not that great at it now. I've got this friend of mine. He's a really cool guy to stand this friend.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Him and his family, guys like freaking Indiana Jones. There's nothing the dude can't do. Spear fishing. He skis double black diamonds, jumps out of freaking helicopters. The dude's like freaking Indiana Jones and McGiver. He saved his wife once choking on a piece of lobster
Starting point is 00:06:30 by like doing some like crazy procedure. The guy is like, so he takes me out at his boat this weekend. We took a little trip with the family. And first day we went spear, well, lobster. It's a little easier than spearfishing. And I'm such a terrible swimmer. I got to tell I was not very good at it. All I did, I wound up doing it.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I'm like, you know what? Give me this life man. I'm just going to float here and watch. And I had fun watching. I'm floating into water. Got my snob. I'm like, I'll watch you guys kill some lobster. It was kind of fun, but I wasn't very good at it.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I'm just not a great swimmer. I can swim to, like, stay alive, not to go get Joey bag of lobster at the bottom. I'm just not good at it. But day two, he's like, I'd only fish once in my life. I know you're like, how could you not fish? You were a dude? I just didn't know. It takes a lot of time and it had.
Starting point is 00:07:12 We went out fishing. And, man, I'm not kidding you. I just told you guys I sucked at spear fishing. Okay, so I'm not trying to be like the guy. I go out fishing the next day with him and his, three boys, great kids. And the youngest one, Brendan's like this awesome kid. He's a little young kid and he's like big fisherman guy.
Starting point is 00:07:31 And talk about beginner's luck. I wind up catching like 12, 15 fish in like an hour. It's total beginner's luck. I'm not claiming it was any skill at all. Matter of fact, I bring up Brendan's name because he asked me, he goes, hey man, where are you casting? I'm like, I don't know, just out there. Why?
Starting point is 00:07:46 I'm like, I don't know because I don't want to cross your line. That was it. Total beginner's luck. We wound up staying out there four or five hours. Paula was getting a little motion sickness at the end, so we had to come back. I could have stayed out there all day. I'm just saying, I get it now. I totally get it.
Starting point is 00:08:01 The most relaxing thing, and the reason I bring it up to tie it to this story today, I thought about this, what we're going to talk about in today's show, is folks as a movement, this was one of the few times in my life in the last few years, which had been really chaotic, where I had like this mini-awakening moment. I'm fishing out there. It's raining, by the way. The weather wasn't even great. We're in this, we're in the Atlantic off the Bahamas, right?
Starting point is 00:08:27 We're catching some grunt, some yellow tail, some grouper. You hook a barracuda. I had a got to fight with a barracuda. He won, ripped the whole line off. But I got to tell you, man, I had a seriously like a mini awakening. I had this moment where all the noise, like, went quiet. Does this sound like weird or do you get it? Really?
Starting point is 00:08:46 I felt like, now I get why people do this. Like the signal became clearer because the noise. got really, really dim. And I came back today, obviously we had Labor Day, off yesterday when you spent some time with your families, you have to do shows every day, it's more important you'd be with your family. And I thought to myself, folks, you see all the noise out there,
Starting point is 00:09:06 all the people out there who go after me and go after people in the Trump administration, yet produce nothing but noise. The second you ask them to produce a signal, what happens? They get sued, they get defamation suits, they produce no receipts at all, they produce endless, endless data points unrelated to actual evidence. They never produce anything.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And I'm telling you this because I know you're in the right place. And I know when this all settles down in a couple of years, this acute moment in time, politics never settles completely. But when this moment settles down, I am absolutely certain of this. As certain as my name's Dan Bongino, I'll cut off my right arm if this doesn't have. I am sure when this is over. And the record is complete. And you see our body of work what we put together.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Not just me at the FBI, but the administration versus the defamation suits, the lies. And people get exposed as the truth gradually seeps out. You're going to say, I wish I hadn't wasted time with the noise and it focused more on the signal too. I promise. Folks, we got a lot of things going on. We got, you know, a 25th anniversary of the worst terror attack on U.S. soil. in our history in 9-11. We got a sad anniversary of Charlie's murder.
Starting point is 00:10:27 We've got multiple trials going on right now, which you would think due process would matter to people who call themselves lovers of liberty. It just doesn't to these people. It just doesn't. They hide behind their positions and their ex-accounts. Trust process. You can't say I respect the Constitution and due process.
Starting point is 00:10:50 and then throw process out when you want to attack people for political reasons. People are entitled to the presumptions of innocence and constitutional protections. It's really sad, folks, but I promise you over time, you will never regret being part of this audience ever. So this happened this weekend, too, related to the news, because again, you hear a lot of noise about what people speculate on and nothing happened. end.
Starting point is 00:11:18 And though, this came out. And the only reason I bring this up is I debated putting this into the show. But it's certainly a news item. And it was on the front cover of the New York Times. I found out like you did. My cousin Susan sent me a text and said, hey, you're on the cover of the New York Times. I said, okay, that's interesting. It's a story about the COVID investigation that, picture me.
Starting point is 00:11:43 It looks so mean in that picture. And Fauci. and I basically got hit by some university professor on the article who says one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. So I want to put up what the article says about our investigation at the beginning of it in the New York Times. It says in early 2025, Dan Bongino, the fiery, fiery, the fiery number two official at the FBI,
Starting point is 00:12:10 summoned dozens of agents to the Bureau's Washington headquarters. Mr. Bonino, a conservative media personality, recently elevated the deputy's role, demanded to know why a years-long inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic had stalled. And why investigators had out more forcefully scrutinized the role of government scientists, current and former official site. So, you know, you can read the article yourself. It's in the New York Times by Benjamin Mueller and Glenn Thrush. Check it out if you want. I'm not even putting it up for like an SPS moment. Put it up because I went and saw it and then I go on the X account because I couldn't get any service out there in the
Starting point is 00:12:45 I get back, and I see this response from a guy who can't even get my name right. My name is Dan, not Don, but it's okay. Everybody does that. Craig Calhoun on X, Craig. Craig, what was that? Craig J. Calhoun. He is, I guess, a professor at ASU, he says. He says, Don Bongino is ignorant and destructive.
Starting point is 00:13:05 But one has to admit he's determined inside the DOJ's investigation of Fauci and other virus scientists. And he attaches the article. So I just responded to him. I mean, what's ignorant or destructive about demanding answers? Now, of course, the haters out there who want to be all noise and no signal will insist to you that nothing's happening about this case or any other case out there, despite the fact that all of these items continue to happen. I can't tell you this enough.
Starting point is 00:13:34 This battle with the Folex MAGA, people on our side who are nothing but nihilists and want to see this country collapse under the weight of Democrat Socialist rule, have no perspective on the real fights right now. They just want to see the country burn exactly like the Democratic Socialists or the undemocratic socialist. Folks, at that little moment fishing this weekend, I really, this kind of little mini-awakening
Starting point is 00:14:01 where you just drown the noise out, you see pure signal for the first time in a while, was another reminder of what's really important. We got a lot going on this week. You've got the R&C, I've got some travel. Some of the shows are going to look a little different. some of the we'll be here at 10 a.m. May have to record a little bit early in a couple of shows
Starting point is 00:14:17 just to throw that out there. But drowning out the noise is really hard. It is. Separating from the signal from the noise this week is going to be critical. We've got an election coming up. Try to challenge your priors always. Things you believe question it. It's the best thing you can do.
Starting point is 00:14:36 We have real fights going on, folks. And the noise hustlers out there, they're going to throw this whole thing away. way before the election. Folks, we've got real fights coming up. They're not coming up, they're here. You've got the persistent threat of a terror attack. You've got the growing threat of a cyber attack on U.S. soil.
Starting point is 00:14:57 You've got the Chinese Communist Party, saber-rattling over Taiwan. You've got, you know, Russia and Ukraine ongoing. You live in a very dangerous world. I love the sunsets at night. I love the serenity of being with friends. But the hard reality is we live in a world full of challenge. And you get these people talking about these things they just make up on X to distract people. So I said to you last week that some of this stuff right now really matters.
Starting point is 00:15:26 These national security fights that I saw going on behind the scenes during the past year of my life that President Trump is dealing with right now are grave folks. And we have heroes and patriots out there wearing our military uniform and others in our intel and law enforcement space who are fighting the bad guys every day. the bad guys every day, they're the signal. So I said to you last week that I had received a letter, an email, I should say, to be precise, a long time ago from a friend of mine,
Starting point is 00:15:53 I trained in the Secret Service Academy. He was a rookie agent, I was his instructor. The guy was very quiet. He was a member of our military. And he kind of out of the blue sent me an email that changed my life. It did because it was one of those other mini awareness moments from my life where these,
Starting point is 00:16:12 I just saw a pure signal. I read it on my Fox show when I had the show on the weekend, unfiltered. It's about two minutes. But folks, you want to separate signal from noise and see the real fights and learn to drown out, the grifters, the bums, the Folex MAGA people, the fake conservatives, the nihilists. Listen to what this hero saw and what these real patriots, these men and women fighting for everything we stand for, overseas have to go to and the baggage they take home, not just physical, not just the damage physical, but the mental damage they bring back as well. Hopefully you'll never have to write
Starting point is 00:16:53 an email like this in your life. I strongly encourage you to listen to all of us. Check this out. I want you to listen to this. It's not going to be easy, but I think you need to hear it. This is an email from a very close friend of mine I've known for a long time. He served several tours of duty in Afghanistan. And it speaks to the damage. some of these soldiers, these heroes overseas, bring back with them. Some of it isn't all physical. He said this. He wrote to me, a lot of people don't understand what it's like coming home from combat
Starting point is 00:17:25 after doing things for your country. We have to live with what we've done. I feel I've forfeited any chance to see my daughters in the afterlife. When your ROEs were to smoke check anyone with a shovel and an orange bucket, including kids, it was like the wild. west and your enemy changes you. You grow a hate inside you that you can't come to terms with. You watch your Marines die. You watch them get maimed, losing legs, arms, private parts all the while, knowing the locals knew where the IEDs and ambushes were, but they didn't tell you during one of
Starting point is 00:18:06 the many shores you sat in on. Usually there were 15, 20 pounds which would take out a leg or both. Sometimes a hand and part of the arm if you were carrying your weapon at a low ready. The worst was a 50 to 75 pounder. That turned you into what we called pink mist. We backed the truck up and put the pieces in the back using a poncho and the kid next to him who was in shock while dropping every ordinance we had from fixed rotary wing artillery and mortars. my friend went on to write you hate yourself because you lived you hate yourself because your Marine killed himself
Starting point is 00:18:49 when we got home and you couldn't prevent it you hate yourself because you get drunk texts from your Marines telling you they love you and thanking you for what you did for them over there but they're hurting because you had to give them orders to kill kids you have to carry that hate you. for the rest of your life.
Starting point is 00:19:13 It doesn't go away. It's actually gotten worse. You have nightmares almost every night. You hardly sleep. Your daughters die in really bad ways in your dreams, and you fear it's punishment for what you did, and they may come true. But America doesn't care now.
Starting point is 00:19:32 You're a statistic at best. You're hated at worst. That goes me every time. You see why I get so... riled up and passionate, you know, upset at the doom and gloom class out there that wants to turn our country over to people like the socialists who want to attack these heroes and defund them. And do you understand the damage these people come back? With that email, forget, you know, awakening and fishing.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Like that email just, I was not in the military, so I can't relate that email. open the aperture on my eyeballs like I'd never, ever seen before. It was like being colorblind and seeing color for the first time. Like you're just stunned by how much you feel you missed about the mental damage these people bring home, these heroes. I had a hard time reading that on the show. I'm going to tell you when we did that, I was having a really hard time getting through it. Folks, we've got real fights coming up.
Starting point is 00:21:04 And I'm going to tell you something, our fight, just asking people to show up and vote to save our country from the destruction and entire class of politicians and people would bring upon us, our fight pales in comparison to what these heroes bring back. Can you imagine the psychological trauma they have to deal with every day that thank the Lord, you know, you and I will never understand. You got the 25th anniversary of 9-11 coming up. The sad anniversary of all of our friend, Charlie, being, you know, murdered for all of us to see on X seemingly an almost live time. And we're getting lost in like conspiracy crap directed at us all. This is cannibalism theory on the left turned over to the right. The left does this. What happens is the left gains power.
Starting point is 00:22:07 And because they still have to keep their grift going, what they do is they wind up turning on themselves and eating themselves alive. I never thought this would happen on it. I really didn't. Not to the degree it has. Where dishonest merchants of lies are out there just talking a bunch of crap.
Starting point is 00:22:26 It doesn't even matter. They get sued. They get all this. They never produce an ounce of evidence. And yet they double and triple down because they know at that point they're too far in the abyss. There's no coming back up. The submersible's been cut off.
Starting point is 00:22:41 It's a damn shame to watch. It's a damn shame to watch. Folks, we have elections to win. And as I said, our fight pales in comparison to what that fine, damn fine individual went through. I'll tell you his version. His name is Jason, because I think he gave me, I'm not going to tell you his last name, obviously.
Starting point is 00:23:04 But his name is Jason. And I promise you, he is a very real person living with very real pain. We have elections to win, folks, and there's a lot of signal to pay attention to. And although I told you I had some kind of mini awakening this weekend, really seeing like the noise filter down for the first time, it tends to like pollute your brain sometimes. We can't have a mini awakening. We need to have a countrywide awakening coming up in this election because we got a real fight ahead. And I'm going to give you some real signal, some real things that have. happen in contrast to the Dumer crowd and their lawsuits and their lies and all of that.
Starting point is 00:23:46 These are real things this administration can and has produced. I want to take a quick break. I like many of you, I appreciate all the American flags in the chat that really, I think, I know Jason watches the show sometime and he'll probably text me later about it. But I know he'd appreciate knowing that a lot of you were out there with those American flags in the chat, who still see that signal and know how much this republic matters. Light that thing up because he deserves it. And so to all, all of the heroic men and women out there,
Starting point is 00:24:22 putting their butts on the line for not a lot of money at all. Because so we can sit here and, you know, watch our, you know, Yellowstone episodes on our phone or our iPad. Yeah, tear it up in the chat. That's the way it goes down. All right, signal coming up, because we always bring receipts, unlike the Follex MAGA crew. Quick break. Folks, we're still a couple months out, but the midterms are fast approaching and make no mistake.
Starting point is 00:24:52 If the House flips, it's a big deal for our economy. That uncertainty is one of the reasons I'm diversified with gold from Birch Gold Group, and I'm not the only one. In the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the spot price of gold jumped over 12%. Why is that? Many investors considered it a hedge against economic uncertainty. If you don't own gold, I would suggest talking with Birch Gold. I use them BIRCH. They'll discuss your goals and explain how precious metals can fit into your savings. They can even help you convert an existing IRA of 401k into an IRA in gold for no additional money out of pocket.
Starting point is 00:25:27 With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers, Birch Gold can help you too. Text my name, Dan, to the number 9-8-9-9-8-9-8. get a free information kit and get some solid information. The midterms will be here before you know it. Don't wait. Text Dan to 9-8-9-8-98-n message and data rates may apply. Man, those flags in the chat are still going and see you.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Thank you, Birch Gold. We appreciate it. Today's show also brought to you by Brickhouse Nutrition. Listen, these weight loss injections are everywhere, but here's the catch. About 15% of users quit because of the cost. Another 15% stop because of side effects. So while back, I wanted to drop some pounds. I had just gone through a really,
Starting point is 00:26:06 nasty medical crisis. I was not eating well. I gained probably 20, 30 extra pounds. It was not great. You probably see it actually in the Fox Club. I was a little needed to drop a few. I called Miles from Brickhouse Nutritionist and Miles, you got a product. He said, I do. He said, try lean. L-E-A-N. It'll get you lean. I said, oh, really? Let me give it a shot. Well, I lost well over 30 pounds. I weighed in this morning about 200. Probably I need to take a couple lean this week because I ate a little much over the weekend down into Bahamas there. I chose lean from Brickhouse Nutrition. because it works. Here's why. Weight loss shots work by helping control blood sugar and appetite. So you eat less. No argument. Shots can work for many people. But Lean was doctor formulated to
Starting point is 00:26:44 similar things naturally. Lean helped tackle my hunger and help support steady energy without constant cravings. And Lean did something injections don't. It helped my body turn fat into energy so I'd burn fat instead of storing it. My favorite part, lean is a nutritional supplement. It's not an injection, no prescriptions, no needles. I lost weight with lean and I believe you can too. So go to brickhouse nutrition.com slash Dan. Use promo code Dan for 20% off brickhouse nutrition.com slash Dan.

Again, ladies and gentlemen, we have real fights coming up. We're just a few weeks away. Some early voting starts so early now. You know, the elections aren't even in November anymore. They're like in June.
Starting point is 00:27:30 The early voting starts really, really early. These elections started now. It's not like election season is coming. Oh, it's in November. It's now. We have real fights. You've got to get out and vote. You've got to bring 10 people with you.
Starting point is 00:27:43 You've got to email 10 people. You've got to make 10 social media posts. You've got to call 10 people. If you can drive 10 people, rent a van, get them to vote because the numbers are not nearly as bad as the Dumeers in the media want you to believe. Republican polling, it's not terrific. I'm not going to lie to you. But it's not apocalyptic if we actually show up.
Starting point is 00:28:03 If we don't, yes, we're going to lose. I don't understand, too, all of these, you know, Folex MAGA people and fake Republicans out there whining all the time, the left wing out, it's like, you know, there's nothing to talk about, nothing happened, nothing happened. What are you, again, the borders de facto closed and de jure closed. The crime rates have dropped to the lowest in U.S. history. My proudest thing I've done in my life, by far.
Starting point is 00:28:26 They've been part of that with President Trump's leadership. This is real. We're building things again in America. Before I get put up the New York Post article about if you were a skilled tradesman, folks, I grew up in a family of skilled tradesmen. My father was a union plumber. My brother's a union electrician. You know, I worked manual labor jobs.
Starting point is 00:28:46 My whole life was a grave digger in a cemetery. U.S. job market is booming in a historic way. For workers with no college degrees, New York Post, September 7, 2026. This is real. The New York Post is writing a headline about a fact. This is real signal. I don't understand like all these people.
Starting point is 00:29:04 We got nothing to run on. That's it? No, that's not it. I wasn't even going to put this one last, but it fit perfectly what I was saying right there. Here's the Rapid Response 47X account that puts out the good news from the White House. You can look at the numbers yourself.
Starting point is 00:29:19 How many Republican presidents, Republican congressmen, Republican senators, hell, Republican governors and Republican dogcatchers through the years have spouted off endless cliches about We need to cut down the side as a government. It's bloated.
Starting point is 00:29:36 We're paying too much money for too many bureaucrats. Well, it's really like never happened up until now. Rapid Response 47. The lightest federal workforce in American history. There it is right there. The Trump administration finally did what Republicans have promised forever. Many Republicans, even some Democrats, you know, Bill Clinton, you're a big government. And they barely did it.
Starting point is 00:30:02 any of it. So the U.S. workforce for skilled tradesmen working class Americans who built this place, this building we're living in now. The studio wasn't built by me. Folks, it wasn't built by me. I just told you at beginning the show I'm not really the outdoorsy time. I wish I could build a building like this. I didn't. Ronnie built it and his team getting dirt under their fingernails. The economy's never been better for working class Americans. Is it, is it perfect? It's never perfect. federal workforce that you're paying for is going down and down and down as we cut unnecessary spending. We cut something like $400 million from the FBI budget alone, wasted real estate, parking garages we didn't need, offices we weren't using subscriptions to online magazines,
Starting point is 00:30:49 no one had opened in years. This happened throughout the federal government. Here's another one. This is a Fox business hit from last week. Does this stuff, I mean, really, does this stuff matter? This is the wrong show for you. If you're interested in the noise, go on X, follow the doom and gloom crowd, and hear them endlessly support their own defamation suits and lies over and over again, never answering with any facts. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:15 I guess you'll be happy. I'm not like that. When you talk about this country and liberty, talk about it with the smiles, as I've said many times. Here's the jobs report that came out last week for everyone, not just working class Americans, but people in all kinds of different spaces and arenas. It was an insanely good jobs report. We're just going to ignore this pre-election? I'm not.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Check this out. Huge August jobs report. Look at that. 162,000 non-farm payrolls added last month. That was triple the estimate. June and July revised higher by a total of 55,000. So the summer wasn't so bad after all. The economy saw solid hiring and leisure and hospitality of 62,000 in August.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Government added 35,000 education and help. services added 29,000, but pay attention. Look at construction and manufacturing. Look at that boom. AI data centers. Unemployment rate remained unchanged 4.1 percent, despite an increase in the labor force participation rate. More folks are looking for work. I think that's a good sign. Folks, signal, signal, signal. I can't say this enough. We have an election happening right now, not tomorrow, not the next day. Early voting starts in freaking like February now. We don't have a choice but to take this fight on this fight pales in comparison to what our patriots many of you in this chat have had to take on overseas and the fight for freedom around the world okay all we're
Starting point is 00:32:41 asking people to do and i know you'll do it because you're patriots too this fight pales in comparison is grab 10 people tell them how to vote take them to the polls register them get them registered just help 10 people vote as well and i if we do that if we show up we have a good chance to take this signal even further over the next two years and not have to deal with two years of Democrat impeachments, your weaponization of government again, endless garbage crap hearings about everything else other than what matters to you. So we've got the workforce booming, manufacturing returning, the border closed, the streets are being cleaned up dramatically, crime rates dropping. You got some more? Hell yeah, I got some more. What about the illegal
Starting point is 00:33:28 population of the United States that was being used by the Democrats to create a massive welfare state. They talk about it all the time, how they use demographic destiny to change the demographics of the country. The Democrats talk about this all the time. We have a 20-minute supercut of it to change the country. Rapid response 47, again, according to cIS.org there, or c.is underscore rogue or X. The net change in the overall size of the illegal population in the United States is a, quote, extraordinary decline of 2.3 million since January of 2025. Is that every illegal guy? No.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Is there more work to do? Yes. That's a pretty dramatic decline. I want you to do some simple math in your head. I'm going to help you here. The Democrats talk about this thing called replacement theory all the time. Don't let them, oh, you racist Republicans are replacement theory. It's their thing.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I've played this thing. I'm not going to play it again today. There's a 20-minute supercut, producer Jim put together of Democrats talking about how they're going to replace you, how they're going to bring in illegals because they're losing American citizen voters in blue states.
Starting point is 00:34:43 They need illegals. There is an actual article in the New York Times. Thank you. You know, wherever you guys are great with this. We can replace them. Michelle Goldberg, New York Times. It's right. That's a real headline.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Look it up. They've written about this. Folks, there's about 700,000 roughly people in a congressional district. If you get rid of 2.3 million illegals who do not belong here and broke the law to get here, the Democrats' demographic destiny argument that they talk about all the time, look it up. You start to massively lose electoral college and congressional representation you garnered by illicit and illegal means. This is the only reason they want illegals in the country with political power. They don't care about illegals at all.
Starting point is 00:35:32 They don't. No, they do. No, they don't. They care about political power. Using illegal aliens are just a tool for them. I promise you. You want me to prove it to you? Well, it'd be hard to, but if illegal aliens were somehow like mind-wiped into all voting for Republicans tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:35:50 the Democrats would be like, shut the wall, build the wall, shut it down, ship everybody out. would be like, we need to give ICBP $2 trillion in funding. They don't care about illegals. They care about using them for political power. They've talked about it over and over. Donald Trump and the Trump administration and his law enforcement and DOJ folks have engaged in an unprecedented deportation effort to send a message yet you can come here, but you have to come here legally.
Starting point is 00:36:23 And if you don't, you've got to go. and the Democrats are losing their minds. Here's one more. I'm not even done. You've got the Iran doomers. Yes, I believe me, I am very, I can't say this enough. I'm glad that Republicans engage in intra-party back and force. It was happening this weekend over a proposal to give some government taxpayer money to families that have a stay-at-home parent.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I'll get to that in a second. there's a big back and forth. If you're on X, you've seen it all weekend. There's a lot of back and forth on Iran. That's a good thing. But I'm saying like in addition to some bad news, I guess it didn't go acts exactly as planned. Point stipulate, I don't think anyone's going to argue that. When we get some good news, are we going to cover that too? We're just going to play the doom and gloom side. Iran's oil dollars are drying up and plunging it deeper into a crisis. Our brave heroes in the United States military, there was some story this weekend. I found fascinating about how Navy SEAL teams had to go and obviously great risk to themselves, take care of the mine crisis in the street. And they cleaned it up because that's what they do. Hey, you want to go near this mine and place
Starting point is 00:37:38 a charge? You could die. I think that's fairly obvious. Not everybody goes to work every day with a 20% chance of dying. Thank God, I'm not using his name in vain. Not our seals and our military. We control the straight now. And Iran is starving right now. They're starving them out of economic funds. Again, bad news, we should cover that too. And we will. We still got a debt crisis. I'm not happy with what's going on with the debt.
Starting point is 00:38:11 I think growth will be a big contributor, but we have to cut spending. And not every idea Republicans put out there, obviously is a great one. And that's the great part about being a conservative, is when you divorce out the Folex MAGA people who never say anything of substance at all. It's all BS.
Starting point is 00:38:28 You have a lot of really substantive conservatives who just disagree, and that's okay. It's a healthy part about being a party. Or else you can vote for this kind of crap. I saw this weekend. And I thought to myself, I had forgotten about this. Now, this is what your alternative is. Hollywood, academia, you've got jelly roll now. Like, what the hell was that about?
Starting point is 00:38:52 You've got this McLemore guy. You've got a bunch of goofballs. Hollywood, academia, even some sports figures, musicians. they don't know anything. All the yours out there spouting a bunch of crap and garbage. This is the Democrat base. I'm going to show you how ignorant the Democrat base is with actual numbers and receipts at a minute.
Starting point is 00:39:10 But this was rolling around X this weekend. Now, the guys didn't, they remembered it, but they weren't working here when this went down. Paula was producing the show. And the 2016 election, when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are running against each other, this is the alternative if you succumb to the doom and gloom
Starting point is 00:39:28 and don't show up and vote. Do you remember this video, these musicians and singers put together? This is for Hillary. For Hillary Clinton. This is real. Dumb. Dumb. Yes, it is dumb.
Starting point is 00:39:40 This is real. It's not a young. Who is that? Mindy Moore or something like that? Who are these people? I know that one. That's Kirsten or Kristen Chinoey or something. That's Eva.
Starting point is 00:40:14 I don't know who these other people are. This was, Justin was like, wait. You got to listen to the end. I go, I really can't. He's like, there's like a rap that happens at the end or something. Folks, this is what, do you understand like our side, the signal?
Starting point is 00:40:28 This is the noise coming from the left. Whenever you bring up anything of substance outside the Democrats, singing and screaming and yelling and giving like what appears to be drunken speeches out there, everything of substance they say of actual substance. Here we go. It gets better. This actually happened. This actually happened.
Starting point is 00:40:51 This actually happened too this weekend. Wait, cue up the Amy Acton. Amy Acton's running for governor in Ohio against Vivek Ramoswamy. She shows up at an event this weekend. Folks, I don't know what happened before. There's a lot of allegations going around on Twitter that she may have been drunk. I don't know. I don't know what she was drinking.
Starting point is 00:41:08 And a Mottles in the chat. I'm going to need more Mottlies after this one. She goes up, this is the other side. Like, we have real fights. You've got to drown out the noise. Focus on the signal. Immigration. Illegal immigration is down.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Crime is being now finally attacked and contained. We've got finally some progress going on in Iran. We've got manufacturing renaissance. Blue-collar workers now making money, building things again in the United States. We got the signal to focus on drown out the noise. Here's the candidate for governor in the swing state of Ohio. This one, you tell me, was there a couple of Bud Lights involved before? Because I don't really know what happened here.
Starting point is 00:41:48 But this was going around X2 this weekend. Talk about noise. Check this out. Good to see everyone. It is so good to see you all here today. It's a little warm. Thank you. It's a little hot. But we are absolutely sitting in that inflection point.
Starting point is 00:42:12 I am honored to be here and honored to be with all of you in this moment. Look, I'm a doctor. I am not a politician. I'm becoming one right in front of your eyes. my last election was in high school, okay? I did win, so we were one for one in elected office. We're on a winning streak. I don't know what's going on there.
Starting point is 00:42:38 I'm not really sure where there's some skinny girl margaritas going around. I don't know. I don't really care to speculate. I'm just saying, like, do you really want this woman for governor in the state of Ohio, a critical swing state? that's finally back to some, you know, good quality candidates and leadership going on here. Do you really want that? Folks, every single time you ask the Democrats and the doom and gloom crowd
Starting point is 00:43:07 to produce actual signal, not noise, not garbage, not crap, not theories you can't back up, not a bunch of data points unrelated to them. There's a bank robbed in Nebraska. Okay, that's really horrible. I think you did it. You flew over Nebraska. Well, when? What are you even talking about?
Starting point is 00:43:23 I flew over Nebraska's at that point. I was nowhere near the bank. I landed in what I know it's a dad. I landed in California. What are you even talking about? They do this all the time. Look what happens when you actually tell people who plan on voting Democrat with their new socialist communist lien.
Starting point is 00:43:42 When you actually tell them, say, hey, this is what they support. Do you support that? This is how dumb a lot of these people are. I'm sorry, this is just pure unadulterated ignorance. unlike that professor in the beginning of the show who was upset for me demanding answers on the COVID day. Maybe you should demand answers. This is a great piece.
Starting point is 00:44:02 By the way, Mark Penn, I'm pretty sure as a Democrat pollster. So no one's going to tell me the piece is biased. It's called socialism and the dumbest generation in the Wall Street Journal. They note the Democrat Socialists of America have called for, quote, an adequate income for all and a guaranteed federal job paying a living wage to any when who wants one. Hold that up there a second. Oh, that sounds all cute. Oh, nice. Adequate income for all. Who's going to argue with that, right? A government job, though. So you're going to go work for the government? They know, but the poll finds that 77% of registered voters under 25, young people, a lot of them
Starting point is 00:44:44 claim to believe in socialism, believe their paycheck should be based on, quote, the merit and value of their work. That belief is even more prevalent. amongst older voters. So they love the idea of a government job for all until you actually ask them, do you want to work for the government of the private sector? And overwhelming majorities of them, even younger voters go, no, no, I don't want to work for the...
Starting point is 00:45:08 That's what they want. That's their signal. Here's another one. 68% of young voters say they want to own their own home. Meanwhile, Chee Weaver, Maandani's director of the New York City office to protect tenants, has declared that private property and especially home ownership is a weapon of white supremacy and that housing should be regarded as a collective good.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Again, all these kids get confused by the noise and when they see the signal, they realize its noise. They don't actually support this stuff, man. They don't support any of this stuff. It's all a scam. And just getting back to the beginning of the show, I'm desperately trying to avoid the MAGA movement in the Republican Party from getting pulled into this cannibalistic vortex
Starting point is 00:46:02 by people who are not there for the right, just like what happened with the Democrats where they eventually eat themselves alive. Folks, we got to stay focused. We can't one-up the Democrats on Democrat policies. This party is never going to be the party of huge expansive government. government has basically a principal agent problem and a third party payer problem when you hand your money to a third party who spends it quote for you it's not his money and he's not buying anything for himself this man or woman in congress so they don't care as milton friedman said about the cost of what they're buying or the quality it's why government can outside of our military and law enforcement again we can't have a mercenary army after the incentives are all wrong right outside of our military and law enforcement we again we can't have a mercenary army after the incentives are all wrong right outside of our military and
Starting point is 00:46:53 law enforcement. There's almost nothing the government will ever do right. Therefore, I'm always suspicious of any government program, and it's fine. It's healthy to go out there and debate this stuff. I'm going to take my last break. And I'm going to show you how, in case you think like, oh, you know, we never talk about other stuff that may be, may sidetrack the Republican movement. You know, we don't, this is not the Pollyanna show either. I've addressed the debt crisis, the Social Security crisis, the Medicare, Medicaid, crisis over and over and over again. I just want to give you a realistic take. And I think on net, if you were to put all these policies in a spreadsheet, the net present value is positive,
Starting point is 00:47:33 and I make the investment in America and not the Democrat socialists of America. Quick break. And I'm going to show you what I think is not, is actually an extremely bad idea. And I'm seeing more and more of this bubble up in the Republican Party. It is a absolutely terrible idea. And I'm sorry, but there's no one's ever going to convince me into this. this is a good idea. Last break. Hey, one of the best parts of my morning routine is that first cup of coffee. You know how to taste of that first bold tasting, but never bitter.
Starting point is 00:48:04 A cup of coffee from Black House. Change your whole day. Before the craziness of the day kicks in, a strong cup of Blackout coffee is fantastic. Take a few minutes to yourself. You can drown out the noise in the morning. For me, it's Blackout Coffee. We love it. This is one of their best brews out there.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Check this out. Brutal Awakening. You get it. B.R.E.W. See what you did there. Brutal awakening. I love brutal awakening. It's bold, it's smooth, it's fresh-roasted. It's one of the little things that makes the morning a little better. Weekend coffee tastes great, but so does weekday coffee when everything's quiet. And I'm not standing in line every morning to pay seven bucks for what's basically a milkshake with a little coffee in it. Blackout coffee's a small American company takes their coffee seriously and shares our values.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Here's what I want you to do. Check it out. Don't just buy a bag. Join the coffee club. Pick your favorite coffee. Tell them how often you want it. Blackout takes care of the rest. You get member pricing, free shipping, double reward points, and the longer you're in the club, the more perks and surprises they send your way.
Starting point is 00:48:57 It's great coffee at home on your schedule. No lines. No $7 coffee, no nonsense. Go to blackout coffee.com slash Bongino. Use code Bongino for 20% off your first order. That's blackout coffee.com slash bonjino. Join the coffee club. Upgrade your morning.
Starting point is 00:49:12 You'll thank me later. Blackout coffee.com slash Bongino. Check it out. So, folks, again, like, there are not, this is never going to be the Pollyanna, everything's Utopia show either. There are some bad ideas out there. And I'm seeing a small crop of Republicans who think we can out Democrats the Democrats, out Democrat to Democrats on big government policy.
Starting point is 00:49:36 I saw this in the Washington Post this morning, and I thought to myself, this is just a really horrendous idea. that's only going to further exacerbate the problem. Washington Post, Steve Thompson, as Social Security funds run dry, some Republicans say it's time to raise taxes. Folks, this is not going to solve the problem. Social security is going broke by 2032.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Don't take my word for it. There are actuaries who are, one could claim they're trying not to be partisan, their own actuaries, even under Democrat administrations, have had to admit there's no money there. The problem Social Security has is not the tax base. when you increase taxes even more than we're paying now. What's going to happen is people engage in tax avoidance. And tax avoidance will not give you extra money you need.
Starting point is 00:50:22 And even if it did, it'll take money out of the free market economy and stop the economy from growing to a point. We need to pay off this massive debt. Social Security has a middleman problem, okay? The problem it has is it lied to people and told people in the chat and elsewhere that we're going to take your money, which you did pay in. Absolutely. That promises were made to you.
Starting point is 00:50:41 and it said, we're going to basically save it for you for later. They did not save it for later. They did no such thing. They took the money and spent it. I'm sorry again to be the bearer of bad news. I know people don't want to hear it, but I'm trying to solve the problem. We can take care of this generation of retirees if we acknowledge a problem and try to fix it. If that money would have been saved and would have been sitting in any kind of ETF or anything like that,
Starting point is 00:51:04 the Social Security crisis would be minimum right now. It's not what they did, but it would be small. They took it and they spent it. Raising taxes is not going to solve this. Everybody knows what the problem is. The trust fund was spent. The only way to enforce this now, to reinforce Social Security, is to use our powerful free market and this explosion in stock market value
Starting point is 00:51:27 in other assets in the U.S. economy to help the next generation of seniors. It's the only way. There are substantive arguments to be having. There's just noise here. You have a bunch of problems with government programs. I tried to write them now. I'm going to show you a video in a second. of the problems with Medicare and Medicaid, too.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Number one, with any government program, you're going to have massive fraud. Does fraud exist in the private sector? Yes. Why is fraud in the government almost always worse than it is in the private sector, free market economy? Because the government doesn't have any incentive to control spending. It's not their money and it's not their product. Fraud is rampant.
Starting point is 00:52:03 I'll show you that coming up in a second. The money was not saved. The government lied to you. They acted like they took your money and put it in a lockbox, and that's not what they did. They just spent it. It's not there. They have a bunch of fake IOUs.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Inflation ate away the value of what would have been there, even if it was. The IOUs are even less than worthless now. And there was no immediate transfer. So the money they pretended was sitting there, which is really just sitting in fake IOUs, after inflation aided away, wasn't there any way to begin with. We can fix this stuff. You got Dr. Ross and Bobby Kennedy trying to clean up massive fraud in their health care. space, taking away Medicare money and Medicaid dollars from seniors and others.
Starting point is 00:52:45 They had a massive, massive hit on this. This is some more kind of good news that we can fix these problems if we drown out the noise and focus on the signal, which the administration is doing, but the domers are telling you they're not. Check this out. We've got to deal with the fraud issues. And here's why. They're not just stealing your money. They're stealing your health because they don't care about stealing from poor people.
Starting point is 00:53:04 They'll take your health away and they're stealing the nation's trust. Medicare and Medicaid were created in a high trust environment. assume people would do the right things. We now are experiencing about $100 billion up the after the year, much of it because of the COVID pandemic's impact on teaching criminals to move into health care. And we believe if we could just take the fraud out of Medicare, we would double the life expectancy of the Medicare Trust Fund, which means not only would you have it for your retirement,
Starting point is 00:53:29 but it could be there for your kids as well. So what has to happen? We already stopped $42 billion, Kim Brandt, who leads to this program at Medicare, is already taking $42 billion just by not shipping the money out of the building. The number one issue is don't let the criminals get the money from you. Folks, this has been a problem with government pre-Trump 47 administration forever. Pay and catch later.
Starting point is 00:53:51 They would pass out all this government money to a bunch of entities. They probably had a good idea with fraudulent. And they would say, hey, FBI, OIG, DEA, others, go and get them later. I've tried to tell you, I'm very proud of the work we did there, but there's not a workforce large enough, nor would you want it. You don't want a 200,000 member FBI. You've got local police for a lot. And you want someone to enforce federal crime. There is not enough federal law enforcement folks out there to go and chase all this fraudulent money. The Trump administration turned the whole thing on its head and said, I've got a better idea. Let's stop the money from
Starting point is 00:54:30 going out the door first so we don't have a pay and catch, a pay and chase later, that we chase the money out to begin with in the beginning before it gets out. We chase it out of the fraud pipeline. This was a revolutionary approach. Listen, you can knock the Trump administration all you want. It's your right as a free American citizen. But the fact that they changed the entire criminal illegal enforcement mechanism using Title VIII, getting illegals out, not putting them in jails, waiting for them to plea, and then hoping some Blue City Mayor didn't let them out. That was a sea change in federal law enforcement that paid massive dividends. This idea, too, of cutting off the payment pipeline in advance and not chasing the money later
Starting point is 00:55:13 was unique to this administration to the degree they did it. I do want to cover something else, too. I mentioned it earlier because I feel like you should hear both sides. There is a proposal floating around out there to give taxpayer dollars to a stay-at-home family, member who's taking care of the kids from an existing pot of child care money. Folks, on its face, if it's an existing pot of money that may go to others, I get how this would appeal to some people. My concern, my concern about this is that the Democrats are looking for an opening right now and looking to basically get Republicans to go along
Starting point is 00:55:54 with what's called the UBI, a universal basic income. And my fear is that this could become a vehicle for that. The universal basic income is probably one of the most destructive ideas. Politically, I've seen surface on the economic front, political economics in a long time. It's the idea that we should pay people a universal across the board, basic income amount, whatever it may be, 30,000, 50,000. Folks, it's a bad idea. The economics of it are bad, and the incentive structure is even worse. It's a terrible idea. The problem with a universal basic income is this. It creates massive cliffs where people say, no matter how you do it, if you were to give, say, someone, $50,000 and say they don't have to work, and say it was
Starting point is 00:56:43 inflation adjusted, it's not a ton of money, but there are a lot of people out there who don't want to get off their butts and go to work who are just going to take it. And the problem is, if they're offered a job at $55,000, they only net $5,000 extra dollars from going to work 40 hours a week if they could sit at home, do nothing, and get 50. it's a really bad idea no matter how you structure it massive cliffs are created second as i've said to you often with my hat tips to not just our military but working class americans out there truckers plumbers electricians hvac repairmen you know people out there bust in their ass gravediggers busting their ass for a living folks there is value in what you do the ability to manipulate
Starting point is 00:57:28 objects, steel, wood, all this create incredible carpentry and beautiful buildings. There's a value to that. You did that. You, I didn't build this studio. You did. There's value to that. When we pay people to sit at home, we steal away from them. We steal away from them through awful incentives, the desire to go and change.
Starting point is 00:57:50 So I used the term manipulate the world that object, but it's a bad, it has a negative connotation. But to restructure the world for a more prosperous tomorrow, you can be a part of it. of that. A UBI takes that all away. It sucks the life out of people. And that's my fear. I know there's been a lot of back and forth on X. It's fine. That's healthy. And I'm open to kind of a hearing how this would be done with existing because we're having a real problem with the welfare status is. If we're going to have it, if we're going to have it, and that's just kind of a fate of complie. I hope it is. And if we're going to have it, I'd rather at least be more efficient. But we do have to be concerned about that. Paying people to not work steals away
Starting point is 00:58:27 everything God gave them, this ability to go into the world and use your brain and muscle to change the world for the better. Speaking of Bobby Kennedy and Make America Healthy again, you know I try to throw in these little health hacks at the end of the show a lot because I think it's right. They put together a little bit of a lot. I love these things. I'm obsessed with health hacks after this weekend,
Starting point is 00:58:51 out there in the ocean, stepping on the beach sand. You do a little grounding. I felt great. I came home. I felt amazing this morning getting up. It's going to be a busy week, but I'm ready to go. One of the reasons I'm always ready to go every day, and I learned this the hard way.
Starting point is 00:59:05 I did not prioritize sleep in my life growing up. I didn't. I was almost proud of the fact that I didn't sleep. I was like, hey, I slept like four hours last night, went to work. Folks, not a badge of honor anymore. They are finding out really devastating things about short sleeping every night.
Starting point is 00:59:22 It is the damage done to your body. If you had to fix one thing, one thing. If you had nothing else, fix diet, exercise, all those stuff. I would say if you only had time to fix one thing, you're like, I'm going to eat crappy and I'm still not going to exercise. Fix your sleep. I know we're all, like we're all hard workers. The problem is if you sleep less than, I'll show you to play this video in a minute, say six hours or so. If you sleep less than that consistently, the problem is your ability to work the next day, even though you may get in a few more hours, is far less productive than it would be if you just slept seven or eight hours. and probably worked even a little bit less. It's really destructive. Fix your sleep first. Everything else is important, but second to sleep. Check this out.
Starting point is 01:00:04 They took a group of healthy men, and they subjected them to sleep deprivation for one week, which was around six hours per night just on one week. And what they found over just that seven-day period was that they had an epigenetic change of 3%. So they changed their genome. So we have around 20,000 genes in our human genome. They changed 3% of this genome.
Starting point is 01:00:30 So they changed around, I think it was 711 genes. For the worse? For the worse. Hold on a minute. Did you say they were deprived? Just for one week. But the sleep deprived individuals were sleeping six hours a night. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Right, six hours a night. I know, that's the problem. It's actually what some people are happy if they're getting six hours a night. That's there, hey, I had a great night. I slept for six hours. Yeah. And that was the sleep deprivation. So that impacts the way your genes are expressed. One Sandman in the chat cracks me up. I sleep six plus hours every night. That's why I got my name
Starting point is 01:01:05 one Sandman in the chat. Well, you really nailed it. Little sand in the eyeballs when you wake up in the morning. Folks, I had to make this change. Listen, sometimes it's just not possible. It's just sometimes it's not possible. I mean, you go out on a weekend. You know, you get up, you go to sleep late. You still get up early. Whatever. Enjoy yourself. You know, I'm, not telling you to be neurotic about any of this stuff, that would be ridiculous. Sometimes you've got a busy day, you've got a kids event, you've got to work. And you're just like to be able to, I'm just saying if you had to prioritize one big change in your life, the majority of the time, it's sleep. It totally changed my life. I made it happen no matter what. I had a structured time.
Starting point is 01:01:43 I went to sleep every night. I had to do it. And it really did to completely totally change my life.

Starting point is 01:02:47 Yana Hunter 406. Why are they always singing? I don't know. I've asked this question over and over and over again. The Democrats, why are you always singing? Here's a better question. Let me frame it another way. Who do you think this appeals to?
Starting point is 01:03:06 I'm not sure. Do you think persuadable voters you're trying to get over your side? Hey, I think you guys who are undecided should vote for Democrats. Maybe we should sing you a song. Who the hell do you think you're convincing? I'm not sure. Who are you convinced? This is not an effective tactic or strategy to get people over to your side.
